My tongue sometimes rubs against back teeth on one side and gets sore?

Please rephrase: What is the question? If your tongue is sore for a more than a few days or it is inflamed I would contact your dentist or doctor for an assessment

See a dentist ASAP: Irritation from rough teeth, fillings, crowns, or ill-fitting partials that rub against your tongue is a serious issue and needs to be addressed. See your dentist ASAP for evaluation and adjustment.
